Public speaking is what teachers make kids do to embarrass them infront of their peers, so they get teased. Teachers think its fun to watch kids get nervous and stutter because then they can give them bad marks.

Teacher:"Class, you will be doing a speech(public speaking) next week on puberty"
Class: "WHAT???"
Random kid: "AWESOME"
